Spring Hill is the primary site for the Canberra region. It takes SW to NW winds. When the wind talker is in the range 10 - 18 mph you can easily soar the ridge. At other times it is often a thermal soaring site. If the wind talker is gusting greather than 22 mph then conditions are likely too strong to fly.
Weather station: Triggered by 5 short transmissions from a UHF radio on Channel 19. Each transmission should be about 1 second. To minimise unwanted transmissions some safeguards have been incorporated into the system. If you fail to trigger it wait at least 10 seconds before trying again. The information is available via mobile phone: 0447 693 502.
